From day-to-day, we do not necessarily fully grapple with the many barriers we experience as individuals who are Deafblind, to participating in society. This presentation will highlight the key findings from that study, and emphasize the diversity of barriers we experience, as well as the coping mechanisms we use (or not) in working our way through them. As part of the work undertaken to develop CNIB's next strategic plan, CNIB Research conducted a large nationwide study to understand where and how we experience barriers and what we do about them for individuals who are Deafblind. We collected data using accessible online surveys and focus groups with the Deafblind community. An intersectional identity lens is also applied to the data, to understand how persons who are deafblind have different lived experiences and may internalize our experiences with barriers we encounter in society uniquely. Finally, we focus on the concept of self-advocacy as a tool we use to identify, prevent, and remove barriers which may itself pose its own barriers, and what this implies for our lived experiences. Persons who are Deafblind experience multiple types of barriers in multiple settings over the course of their lives. Most common barriers include access to transportation, navigation and wayfinding, and access to information in accessible formats. The number of barriers experienced by Deafblind persons varied by age and age of onset, with middle aged persons, and persons who lost their sight and hearing in childhood experiencing the greatest number of barriers. These results and understandings will help to shape and identity gaps in service provision and may potentially inform the future design of programs and policy using an inclusive and intersectional lens
